Paul Marie Couteaux is one of 3 French MEPs in the Independence & Democracy Group.
The above text, which can also be accessed using the link at the top of this post, appeared in the July 2007 issue of
La Lettre de L'Independence. This is a French newspaper, paid for and published by the Independence & Democracy Group in the European Parliament.
For those who speak no French, M. Couteaux is expressing his support for, amongst others, Front Nationale MEP Marine Le Pen in last year's French elections.
The newspaper also regularly contains interviews with members of the now defunct neo-fascist ITS group in the European Parliament, to which both Marine and her Father, Jean Marie both belonged.

Are UKIP members happy about their MEPs sitting in a group with other MEPs who openly support fascists, and fund that support with Ind Dem money?
